The 1910 Mexican Revolution appealed to Rivera due to the Implementation of extreme Liberal and Socialist values through La Reforma
Your dictatorship is over Díaz. La Reforma is the future for Mexico!
Rivera began painting murals around Mexico inspired by the Revolution, and displayed social life in Mexico, often criticizing the ruling class, the Catholic Church, and capitalism with the implementation of communist values.
From the 1920s - 1950s the United States began perceiving the Soviet Union as a threat and began promoting anti- communism.
Those commies better hope I don't get my hands on their leader.
I say we wipe them all out.
Rivera didn't seem to care........
Finally, I am departing to the greatest country in the world!
To the USSR
Now Boarding
I'll find something to sneak in ...

I want you to paint a beautiful mural, here, at Rockefeller Center in New York City
A very successful American capitalist, John D Rockefeller, proposed the making of a mural for the Rockefeller Center in New York City. It was titled the Man at the Crossroads. Diego Rivera, placed an image of Lenin in the mural, which Rockefeller strongly disapproved of.
